Sunday May 23rd, Newport Harbor
Three boats: Yamafish and I, Rooster and Richard in the Triumph and Maverick and Crvz in their new boat. It was the first time for Yama and I to fish NPH. Maverick and Rooster had been telling us how wonderful it was here and they did not lie! It was truly beautiful there amongst amazing homes, huge boats and exciting fish. I added two new species to my list of accomplishments so I was truly excited about that. All of the fish were C&R safely back. It does not get better than that! Fishing with the best of friends it was truly an epic day! As you all know I love the wildlife so was really excited to see the seadogs playing and lounging on their backs. Yama was kind enough to stop the boat so I could take pictures. Also saw lots of birds. Yama and I can not wait to go back out there again. Here are a few pictures of our day.

That looks like allot of fun, I have got to get to NPH some time soon. Did you mostly hang out near the mouth of the harbor, or by the bait barge, or did you move around all over the place? Nice pics too by the way.

Thank you! We started off above the Bait Barge, and slowly moved our way back in. Stopping at different spots and trying our luck.

Thank you Wingnut! It was our first time but for sure not our last! Honestly, we had the best time there! We tied up on one of the courtesy docks and grabbed some of the best pizza and a soda. It was just a beautiful day! Maybe you can give us some pointers one day and we can catch more fish!

Thanks to Maverick and Crvz. Crvz must have caught over a dozen fish when we were all in the same area together!
Thanks to Rooster and The Old Man for showing us around on our first time at NPH!
It is truly beautiful out there. I am even considering looking for boat storage in Orange County.

See you all out there again soon!

Well done! Thanks for the report.

Great pics and report. Always enjoy your reports and company on the waters. Next time it will be even better with the weekend not being a holiday. Holly smokes it was packed. Props on the hali on the kroc. Sorry we had to leave early but my son was in panic mode on the phone. Lets plan another trip out there.

Ladyfish! Nice Post!

Be careful! NPH is addictive! You may never want to fish the Fresh again!

Except for JR of course! That is the spot!

Rooster--what can I say? Thank you for the kind words, so glad we finally got out to NPH together! Love fishing with you! Do not even sweat leaving early, I totally understand! I hope there will be many more times in the future!!

Yama and I can now understand why NPH and JRL are your favorite places to fish! When it cools off again we will have to plan a trip to JRL until then though let's meet up at NPH!! :Smile:
